Scenic drive to the lighthouse of Peggy's Cove.

Peggy's Cove is 43 kilometers (26 miles) southwest of Downtown Halifax and comprises one of the numerous small fishing communities located around the perimeter of the Chebucto Peninsula. The community is named after the cove of the same name, a name also shared with Peggy's Point, immediately to the east of the cove. The village marks the eastern point of the St. Margaret's Bay.

Super beautiful place for a walk around. Interesting geology around together with unique and very colorful architecture make the place one of a kind. It can be super busy .

Peggy's cove is accompanied by a beautiful scenic, but short drive. The "village" is spectacularly charming and quaint. Its an experience of a life time! You absolutely have to have lunch & try the seafood.

This place never gets old... From the tide to the horizon! You can have waves violently smashing on the rocks and the wind is so strong that you can lean into it! Or it'll be calm and colourful waters! Make sure you stay OFF the dark coloured rocks, one wrong step and you can slip and into the ocean you go! Seriously, people have disappeared because they haven't been careful! Check your sunset times, come early and explore the coast line, have a bite to eat and watch the sunset! You won't be disappointed!

Explore Georges Island National Historic Site

Georges Island is a historical site with tunnels, a lighthouse, and plenty of Halifax History. It is located in the Halifax Harbor, and there are multiple ferries going to and from the island. Once on the island, you can enjoy self guided tours and scenic views. Remember to bring hiking or sturdy shoes. Ferries generally operate until mid-October, when the season ends.

Hike to Haunted Falls & Black Hole Falls

This isn't much of trail so be prepared to bushwhack. If you pull over at the end of Old Baxters Harbour Road, you'll see a sign and a map outline of the trails. You just have to follow the stream, go right you get to Black Hole Falls, and go left you get to Haunted Falls and the shore.To get to Haunted Falls, there is a small rock climb. The ropes are already there and are secure but you can a...

Amethyst Cove

You start by going on the same trail that you would if you were doing the Cape Split hike but not far in the woods you turn right and follow the orange flags. The hike itself is maybe 20 minutes uphill and then you come to the decent down the cliff that will take you to the shore. At the top there's a bucket full of gloves people have left there in case you forgot your own! The ropes are secure...

Hike Cape Split Trail

This is a Nova Scotia classic and a well-known hike. The trailhead has been recently upgraded by the province so parking is no longer a major concern. There is a nice picnic area at the parking lot, but I recommend hauling your lunch to the point - it is a much more scenic picnic spot!The trail starts in the woods, with a few sneak-peek views off the sides of the trail, but the real money is th...

Hike to Blue Falls & Healy Brook Falls

The trails are easy to find. The river goes underneath an overpass and both trails, on the other side. The paths are both easy to walk through. A beginner would have no problems. However, if you are bringing along children just watch out for the cliff drop alongside the path when going to Healy Falls. I would not suggest letting dogs off leash until you reach the bottom.If you go to the right, ...
